I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Oh, definitely. I still like these communities, but my comfort level has gone up a lot since working from home.
I'm also aware (worried?) that as with most developer communities, the content has gone from a bit of everything to the extremes of clickbait/regurgitated listicles on one end to meta conversations about how we can improve the clickbait/regurgitated listicles on the other. It's not as interesting to drop in and read a few posts from my feed any more.
Now that connect is being retired, I'm kind of hoping we settle on an external but at least semi-official chat service like IRC to fill the gap.
